When the traffic light is green, what should you do?

When the traffic light is green, the primary expectation for drivers is to proceed through the intersection safely. Choosing to both keep driving to clear the crossroad and stop if unable to clear indicates an understanding of the situation that may arise at an intersection. If the light is green, drivers should proceed, but if there is traffic blocking the intersection or any other reason that makes it unsafe to cross, stopping beforehand is necessary to avoid obstructing traffic or creating a hazard.

This balanced response reflects the need to assess real-time conditions while following the green light's indication to move forward, thereby ensuring safety for oneself and other road users. In many situations, particularly in busy areas, it’s advisable to be cautious, so acknowledging the need to stop if unable to clear is essential for responsible driving.
